Guys you never understood the love for.

[toonami4life]

As wrestling fans, we have all had our favorites. But there are always those who we don't get. You hear how great a person is by others and you watch a match and you go "That's it? That's the guy everyone loves?" You just don't see what's so special about him.

For me, and I'll probably get a lot of hate for this, it's CM Punk. I have never understood what's so special about him and what the majority of the IWC sees in him. He's just there to me, either as a face or heel. He bores me with his Straight Edge and better than you promos and sounds like he's just preaching like a pastor in a church.

A majority of the boards and site on the net go on and on about how fantastic he is and everything he does is automatically great but I just don't see and often leave the room when he's having a match or segment.

What are some of the guys you never understood why everyone liked them.

[CMWaters]

I haven't had one myself...

...but I have had people not understand why I loved Molly Holly.

[PKO]

Hmm....probably JBL. I didn't like anything about him as a wrestler; his ring work or his promos.

However, I did think his commentator work was top notch.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

He's hardly an "internet favorite" or anything like that, but I don't get Booker T, at least not post 1999 or so.

[Djm Doesn't Find You Funny]

It's not fans, but more the wrestling business itself. I really don't see what they love so much about Randy Orton.

In so many interviews they all put him over like the second coming, but he wrestles in slow motion, does promos that intimidate no one, and seems only be nothing more than a pretty good seller.

Yet, apparently, he's going to be Franchise Player #2 for the company for the next 15 years?

Christian.

[primetime110]

cm punk, daniel bryan, christian.

[Sharpy Snow]

IMHO, Mickie James was nothing special.

Christian.

I'm not offended by his very presence or anything...but sadly, yeah.

He's a decent heel but not one that I want to see get beat so badly where I could see him with either the WWE or World Heavyweight title, and his face work is kinda meh. Plus I never liked the Killswitch setup.

[Flo360]

Paul London.
Seriously Paul London. The guy always seemed to me like the result of my little brother messing around in the CAW mode. Generic music, generic looks, NO charisma, and the most standard spot-wrestler move set ever. Still the Internet seems to love the guy, yet they hate guys like Kidman who are for all intends and purposes the exactly same wrestler. Also John Morrison.

Ditto.

I'd also add DBD to the list. I can see he has some innovative offence, but I watch WWE more for the story and he doesnt put a story across well to me because he sucks on the mic. It's all well and good putting on a good match, but if you can't make me care before the match, you fail imo.

And finally, the UGMO himself, Matt Hardy. Never got what people saw in him.

Anyone that claims Drew McIntyre is a "good wrestler". I know everyone has different criteria for what makes a good wrestler, but Drew seems to fall short in anything i imagine.

[i.Sarita.com]

Zack Ryder (Really? THAT guy?)
Daniel Bryan
Stevie Richards (This guy use to be Wrestlecrap Jesus)
Mickie James (So she has a lesbian angle and suddenly she's an amazing wrestler?)

[Bob Schlapowitz]

The Miz. Don't get it, never will.

OH MY GOD, THANK YOU.

I'd like, someone, ANYONE, to explain to me what makes Randy Orton so amazing at what he does.

Agreed 100%. And the thing that amazes me is how quickly people turned around. Look at Jericho's 'save us' return. He talks about Orton's monotone promos, and everyone's going nuts. But he looks angrier when he does it, and all of a sudden that's ok?

Randy Orton x 1000. Why he's the most over face in the company right now is a mystery to me.
